Dongfang Chenyuan couldn’t help but whistle, his eyes filled with interest, "Little girl, where did you co from? Such good taste, taking a liking to our Prince? And you want to spend a night? That’s not quite right, you should at least develop so feelings first, right?"
Xie Jiuxiao’s sinister gaze swept over, and he said in a deep voice, "Dongfang Chenyuan, if you don’t speak, no one will take you for a mute."
Dongfang Chenyuan said shalessly, "Hehehe, Prince, I’m doing this for your own good. All these years, this is the first ti I’ve seen soone stay by your side for so long without dying or getting crippled. This little girl is a special case, you see, she even wants to spend a night with you. You’ve stayed away from won for so many years, I’m just worried you might be pent up!"
"You can shut up now!"
As the conversation got more out of hand, Xie Jiuxiao’s gaze shot over like a knife, and Dongfang Chenyuan imdiately shut his mouth, blinking innocently at him.
Yu Nianzhao slowly moved back to Xie Jiuxiao’s side, unceremoniously holding his arm, continuing to absorb the Evil Qi from him.
It was thoroughly comforting!
Her wounds had almost fully healed, and her complexion was much rosier than before.
This person in front of her was indeed the greatest supplent for her!
Mu Hongxuan cupped his hands and said, "Prince, this woman’s origins are unknown, do you really want to keep her by your side?"
Dongfang Chenyuan couldn’t hold back, rolled his eyes and said, "You fool, have you ever seen soone stay by the Prince’s side and not die? And it’s a woman. You should be thanking the heavens and praying in gratitude, asking such a silly question, do you want the Prince to be single his whole life?"
"....."
Mu Hongxuan was speechless, only glancing at his own Prince, not wanting to continue talking with this silly person.
Xie Jiuxiao pressed his fingertips to his temple, his body tense, but didn’t retract his arm, only saying indifferently, "Let’s keep her for now."
"Yes!"
In places unseen by others, Xie Jiuxiao turned his head slightly to glance at the contented small face of Yu Nianzhao, his eyes filled with depth.
If she could really save him!
Then what harm would there be in keeping her for a lifeti?
"Zhaozhao, what are you doing? Stop ssing around and co ho with us."
The entire Marquis household was shocked by Yu Nianzhao’s behavior, especially Pei Yuanzheng who moved closer and broke out in cold sweat upon recognizing that this was Prince Su’s carriage.
With a stiff expression, he waved towards Yu Nianzhao, "Zhaozhao, that’s Prince Su, don’t... don’t be foolish!"
Who in Shangjing doesn’t know Prince Su? He’s the bloodthirsty prince who erged from the cold palace alongside the current emperor when they were young!
Back then, he led troops to attack Nanwang, defeating the enemy completely.
Dostically, with thunderous thods. When the emperor ascended the throne, the empress dowager exerted pressure, joining the civil and military officials to establish a new emperor. It was Prince Su, Xie Jiuxiao, who slaughtered the opposing voices, imprisoned the dowager and Prince Qin, allowing the emperor to ascend smoothly.
Not to ntion, he’s enveloped in Evil Qi, whoever gets close dies!
Now Prince Su is already twenty-five, still unmarried.
The emperor is worried day and night about his marriage, but who in Shangjing dared to marry their daughter to him?
Isn’t that courting death?
Fearing that the joyful sedan would be sent in today, and the next day a coffin would be carried out.
Xie Jiuxiao glanced at them with cold indifference, casually asking, "Your family?"
Yu Nianzhao didn’t even bother to lift her eyelids, "I don’t know them, I’m an orphan."
Xie Jiuxiao raised an eyebrow, with a sly grin, said, "Marquis Wu’an, did you hear that clearly? She doesn’t know you, you may leave."
Pei Yuanzheng gritted his teeth, "Prince, you must be unaware, Yu Nianzhao is the biological daughter of my wife and . She was maliciously switched by an evil servant back then, and now we want to bring her ho."
"Oh?"
Xie Jiuxiao looked at them playfully, drawing out his words with mockery, "Soone actually sent their own daughter to Tomb Guard City? No wonder this girl doesn’t want to go back with you all!"
With one sentence, the Pei Family felt their faces slapped ’pa-pa’.
Especially Pei Yunzhi, previously, the Pei Family out of consideration for her feelings, never announced her as a fake lady to the public, but now...
She stepped forward a few steps, her eyes damp, looking at Xie Jiuxiao, tearfully said, "It’s all my fault, I took my sister’s happiness, Prince, please let my sister go ho, I can take her place and go with you."
Her words were sincere, evoking sympathy in others.
Xie Jiuxiao’s lips curled, he beckoned with his fingers, "Alright, co over then!"
The Pei Family’s faces changed, "Absolutely not, Yunzhi!"
Pei Yunzhi, with tears in her eyes, resolutely said, "No, it all began with , I will go and retrieve my sister."
She stepped forward, walking towards Xie Jiuxiao.
One step, two steps, three steps...
At the fourth step, Pei Yunzhi was trembling all over, feeling as though she had fallen into an ice cellar, breathing out white mist.
By the fifth step, Pei Yunzhi only felt tightness in her chest, a lack of oxygen to her brain, couldn’t even speak, eyes rolling back, directly fainting to the ground.
"Yunzhi!"
The Pei Family, worried, rushed over to help her, but rembered her tragic condition earlier, stopped three steps away.
Finally, Mu Hongxuan dragged her away, and Pei Yunzhi was saved.
Yu Nianzhao said speechlessly, "Where did this fool co from?
Xie Jiuxiao’s gaze darkened, he looked thoughtfully at Yu Nianzhao, having more certainty in his thoughts.
Indeed, only she was unique; others approaching him still ended up the sa.
Pei Yuanzheng sighed in relief, "Luckily, she just fainted."
Pei Yuncheng’s eyes brewed with anger, he scolded, "Yu Nianzhao, is this how you treat Yunzhi?"
Yu Nianzhao calmly replied, "I didn’t call her to co forward. She ca on her own, and you still bla ? Pei Yuncheng, is your brain square? Being blind is one thing, but being brainless is truly scary."
Pei Yuncheng was furious, "Is this how you speak to your second brother? Yu Nianzhao, do you have any manners?"
"Can we leave now? I don’t want to listen to a dog barking!"
Now facing the so-called relatives from the Marquis household, Yu Nianzhao remained calm, but Pei Yuncheng was just too noisy, making her feel ear pain.
"Hmm!"
Xie Jiuxiao raised his eyes, and Mu Hongxuan understood imdiately, waving his hand, and the carriage started moving forward.
"Zhaozhao!"
Ms Lien clutched her chest, still calling out non-stop.
"Mother, why are you still calling her? Does she think she has clung onto Prince Su’s thigh? Who in Shangjing doesn’t know Prince Su is a cold and ruthless guy, capable of slaughtering his own uncle. Yu Nianzhao leaving with him will only lead to regret sooner or later."
Pei Yuncheng said with disgust, "The day she is abandoned, she’ll co crying back to beg us!"
Pei Yuanzheng nodded thoughtfully and said, "Yuncheng is right, although she is our biological daughter, she wasn’t raised with us. We’ve tried so hard to retain her, yet she treats us with such disdain, truly an ungrateful wretch."
Pei Yunqing furrowed his brows, worryingly looking in the direction the carriage had left, "What kindness have we shown to Zhaozhao? Only being with the Marquis household for a year before we sent her to Tomb Guard City. Even if she harbors resentnt, it’s what we deserve."
"..."
The Pei Family was speechless for a mont, as the evil spirits within Tomb Guard City roared, and another batch of unfortunate souls would soon be sent into the city as sacrifices.
